ASCO 2009: Experimental targeted therapy improves progression-free survival for advanced NSCLC

Dr Roy Herbst, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, US ASCO 2009: Experimental Targeted Therapy Vandetanib Improves Progression-Free Survival in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The results of an international trial have shown that adding the experimental targeted therapy vandetanib (Zactima) to docetaxel improves progression-free survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has progressed after first-line treatment. This is the first phase III study to show that adding a targeted therapy to second-line chemotherapy with docetaxel results in a clinical benefit for patients with advanced.

Experimental system for robotic lung needle biopsy

This system uses feedback from a camera (not seen in the video) to determine the position of the only pea in a moving cup full of corn. Only the system starts tracking the pea, the robotic arm fitted with a biopsy needle moves and picks up the only pea in the cup.

after CHEMOTHERAPY — Cancer Patients Story of experimental CANCER treatment & chemotherapy

This cancer patients story is about going through experimental cancer chemotherapy treatment. As I am going through chemo, we walk and discuss experimental cancer treatment. My wife, Sylvia, tries to maintain a positive attitude, as do I, but you can just feel the stress and tension in the air. It is not easy dealing with these things. However, we manage to get a few issues off the ground.

?lance armstrong experimental cure, all 9 metastasized cancers?

by Energetic Spirit

Question by cecilia s: ?lance armstrong experimental cure, all 9 metastasized cancers?
lance armstrong was treated for at least 9, 100% fatal fully metastasized cancers. Both lungs, stomach, pancrease, liver, brain, kidneys, blood, & bone. he recovered fully.

Best answer:

Answer by blue_schism
No, he was treated for testicular cancer, which moved and metastasized in various places. He didn’t have lung, stomach, pancreas, liver, brain, kidney, blood, or bone cancer. He had only one type of cancer, testicular. And if left untreated, testicular cancer can spread, but that doesn’t change the type of cancer. My husband had it, and it moved to his lung, but he didn’t have lung cancer, he only had testicular cancer that had traveled and metastasized in his lung. The type of cancer a person faces depends on where it originates—not where it ends up.

Was he the Worlds Greatest Overland Explorer or the Biggest Liar? Perhaps no land journey in human history is more famous than Marco Polos legendary 24-year trek across Asia. But was it all just a big lie? As described in his 1299 book, The Description of the World, the peripatetic Venetian merchant encountered such wonders as the singing sand dunes of Dunhuang, China, mountains of salt in present-day Afghanistan, and the glories of the Mongol court of Kublai Khan. Generations of Europeans were spellbound by Polos account, yet in recent years some scholars have questioned its authenticity. For an extensive three part series in National Geographic, veteran photographer Michael Yamashita put the famed Venetians reputation to the ultimate test using Polos own book as his travel guide for a journey in the celebrated explorers footsteps. Yamashita retraced Polos route across ten countries, from Venice through restricted areas in Iraq and war zones in Afghanistan, over the old Silk Road into China and back again by way of Southeast Asia and India. Along the way he encountered many landmarks and peoples documented in Polos book, deepening his conviction that Polos account is indeed authentic. Yamashita shares dazzling images and fascinating stories from his own journey to the East, while making a strong, personal case for …

Experimental Mesothelioma Therapies and Treatments

There is no single approach to the treatment of mesothelioma, the lung and chest cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Treatment options vary from the traditional to the experimental. And while traditional methods have made progress in combating the disease, alternative options are available that are more aggressive, more comforting, or less invasive to patients.

What are the side effects and warnings for an experimental Cancer treatment called Tarmerac for lung cancer?

by NationalLungCancerPartnership

Question by Larry K: What are the side effects and warnings for an experimental Cancer treatment called Tarmerac for lung cancer?

Best answer:

Answer by Memere RN/BA
First of all, that’s why it’s an experimental cancer treatment. They don’t know the side effects yet. That only happens when they get people who are willing to take part in the trials. You get the drug for free, then they monitor you carefully for any reaction. That’s where the side effects come in. Any and all side effects no matter how bad or not bad they are must be recorded. If they test this drug on say, 100 people and only 1 out of the 100 experiences something strange, it still has to be recorded as a possible side effect. So you probably tried to look this drug up on line and found nothing and you won’t, no one will because it is just and experimental treatment right now. This is why they can’t even tell the public right now of any possible side effects because the test are not completed. Are you going to take part in this trial?

My father has become a foot soldier in the war on cancer

Image by Unhindered by Talent
It’s hard to know how to say this.

"My father is fighting cancer." Nope. Sounds too much like a back alley brawl, and this is a much bigger deal than that.

"My father is battling cancer." Closer. Given the great chunks of medical machinery being brought to bear on his illness, "battle" seems more descriptive than "fight". But battles are (usually) parts of wars, and I’m inclined to be more explicit about that. So…

"My father has become a foot soldier in humanity’s on-going war with cancer."

This seems pretty apt. We (mostly my Mom) are the support staff, providing love and support and matériel, eagerly and nervously awaiting news from the front. But he’s the one in the trenches, dealing with the foot rot and the deafening machines of war and the crap rations.

The key diagnoses were last week, and luckily my wonderful sister was able to fly down from New York and be with them for several days of intense and difficult information gathering. A huge thanks to her for being there for all of us!

Dad’s got cancer of the throat. The doctors place the odds at 50/50, but the system is pretty complex and there are a whole host of things that could slip or crack. He’s got several weeks of radiation and chemo ahead, so it’s going to be a long slog (and probably a rough Christmas), but Dad and Mom and the doctors are all prepared for the fight. Saturday morning was the first skirmish; happily he came through that in excellent shape.

Everyone here in Morris has been really supportive and wonderful, for which we are extremely grateful. We’re going to take off the week of Thanksgiving and will drive down to be with my parents for that week. Until then, it’s fingers crossed and a lot of time on the phone.
